MR33 25-8 Firmware

MR33 25-8 Firmware

Hello, Having an issue with 25-8 and my MR33. Its stops responding to DNS and DHCP requests to certain clients. (Seems to be Apple but I haven't run it long enough to make sure) as soon as I downgrade to 24-12 it works fine. I first thought it was due to beta firmware on my MX but after upgrading and downgraded realized its the MR. I've tried it 3 times and have the same problem each time. The Lan menu on the AP is showing the unmet requests. It does show the clients do connect to the Wifi they just either don't get a DHCP request or can't get DNS requests. Also I noticed at least for my iPad it keeps working but won't renew its address. I made a case with support and they just had me downgrade which is fine for now I wanted to see of anyone else has the problem.

@PhilipDAth Bridge mode with VLAN tagging. I have a Public SSID on one VLAN, Private SSDI on another and Mgmt traffic on yet another VLAN with untagged traffic dropped upstream. The AP is plugged directly into an MX64 serving up DHCP and I've tried both google and public dns.

Whats weird is after some more investigation this time it looks like it is working correctly (The first time I did this devices weren't getting IP's) the devices are getting IP's and DNS the AP just thinks its not working right. I tried Wireshark and it seemed to confirm that the MX was sending a response. I can also make it happen on a Windows computer buy just doing an ifconfig /renew the computer gets an IP but the AP. Also if it doesn't happen the first time doing it again will make it happen.

So anyways it seems its instrumentation rather than an issue. I've reopened my case with support and uploaded screenshots and wireshark captures. I can't explain what happened the first time.

@WANKiller just one. I only have one MR33 at home. All the ones at work are running Stable Firmware. I've left it with 25-8 for awhile no and no actual issues with the clients but the LAN page for the AP on the Meraki website says lots of requests aren't being answered. I'll have to see what support says when they get back to me.

Re: MR33 25-8 Firmware

Will do as soon as I hear back from them. Again so far it seems to be instrumentation glitch. So far no devices are actually impacted even though the AP page claims they are getting responses to DHCP and DNS requests all the time. Thanks.

Re: MR33 25-8 Firmware

I have heard from the support because of the WEP2 crack. That all MR33 should be upgraded to 25.8 but as you say its beta. and no stable in sight. How is your opinion regarding that? I have been using 25.8 in test/Lab but i am skeptical to be using beta in production envoronments.
